Endorsements

Dane is extremely conscientious to make sure that as Program Manager all functions of the toll system are operating properly. He always maintained pride in his and the firm's effort to produce a high quality toll system.

As an example of his dedication to detail, he spent an entire four-day holiday weekend during initial opening in the Operations Center, sleeping only a few hours each day at the facility. A few years later, he demonstrated these same leadership skills at another Virginia toll road.

It is understandable that he was named the Chief Technology Officer, a position that he was well qualified to handle.

...Norm Chabot, Sr Client Representative at PBS&J
